Moss on hand for offseason workouts

Receiver Randy Moss began what he believes will be his last year as a member of the New England Patriots by showing up late last week for voluntary workouts, according to Jeff Howe of NESN.com, via Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Moss reportedly was “his same, jovial self.” He also said he’s not troubled by the absence of quarterback Tom Brady, who was last seen boxing in Hollywood.

The only other high-profile member of the team not participating in the workouts is linebacker Adalius Thomas.

Moss made waves last month by claiming that he doesn’t think his contract will be extended, and by asserting that the “Patriots don’t really pay.” Some (i.e., us) interpreted the comments as a not-so-subtle message: give me security beyond 2010 or send me to a team that will.
